Letters Patent N 95,377, dated September 28, 1869.

IMPROVED MEDICA'I'ED SOAP.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

I, W. 1. Poem of High Point, in the county. of Gnilford, in the State of North Carolina, have invented a new and highly eflicacious Medicated. Soap.

The nature' of my invention consists in incolporating into any innocuous alkaline detergent compound a proper proportion of farina of any of the ordinary cereals and Hydmrgyrz' cymnwetum.

I take common hard soap, one pound; sill-soda, four ounces; farina, eight ounces; Hydrargym' cyamwetum, one sample; aqua ammonia, one ounce; common water, one pint.

' Place the water in a vessel over the fire, and when it reaches the boiling-point, add in succession the soap, cut into thin slices, the Sal-soda, the farina, the Hydm'rgyri eyamwetum, previously dissolved in one ounce of common water, and, lastly, the aqua ammonia; remove from the fire, and decant while hot into shallow vessels, to divide into cakes of suitable size while cooling.

The advantages and benefits of this combination" 'result from the action of the alkali upon the fariua,

converting it into a vegetable glycerine, the action of which, combined with thedetergent qualities of the soap and the alterative influence of the cyanu1'et,c0nstitutes one of the most prompt and reliable remedies for all manner and every variety and grade of cutaneous disease, from simple scabies to the most difficult curable forms of phugedenic ulceration.

I claim, as my invention, the foregoingcombination as a whole, and their application, in said combination, to the cure of disease in man or beast, and to the destruction of parasitic insects or vegetables on man or beast.
